Keep it coming .....I'm lurking
That`s more like it.....Pic`s public now.....Hey it`s great to have some kind of effort goin down here in nowhere`s ville since DE `s and Gavita`s hit the scene and upped the yields on flat grows.....and now it`s LED`s for all the rage , and I kinda dig em too so I`m proud ta see some new vert setups happening.....
I`ll be over here on my bucket , so carry on and keep up the good work.....Thanks for your time and Good luck.....
Peace.....DHF..... …….
Somewhere round here I saw Hayday with some vertical LED arrays in his thread , and Ichabod Crane did a run with his LED`s up and down fairly recently I think.....maybe since wintertime`s settin in we can get him to start a thread since his yankee ass `ll be snowed in most likely soon.....lol.....also......
Waaaay back when LED`s first surfaced there was a guy here nicked Thrillspan that did a thread with some wild ass vertical LED arrays that were 5 sided If memory serves and actual 600 watters at the outlets …...again....
I`m floatin on old ass memory , I`m fairly sure there were 5 lights hangin with 6 Sensi Star bushes , and I was amazed at the size plants those lights put out....but.....the damn lights were $ 2500 each and I almost shit myself , although I think he pulled somethin in the 12 lb range ….again if my old ass remembers correctly.....but damn.....$12500 for fuckin lights....anyways.....
I`m waiting on all my old Eye horti 600`s to burn out and then I`ll get Icky to build me a few of his LED units for my lil headies closet , although a good setup would be 4 of his hangin in the middle of a small area with buncha smaller plants on racks up the walls like my old stacked 600 setups back in the day.....aight.....Get to work and thanks for the thread.....
Peace.....DHF..... …….
I'm an HPS guy (1000 watt bulbs).. i love the big flowers they produce ...If i'm growing big plants then sometimes i drop one down bare bulb (configure the plants doughnut style) in the middle of the grow hung vertically in combination with the horizontal hoods above ...that really baths them in light
The first donut setup I ever saw online was my `ol buddy from Cross da Pond Heath Robinson with concentric circles and bare bulb Eye Horti 600`s hangin in his version of ebb and flow/"multi-flow" buckets growin his Black Rose purple plants , and this was 1 of the biggest setups of his I`d ever seen cuz he was known for growin single or at best double 600 watt setups perpetually in smaller areas for faster turnover......long story short.....
It was learned that the backsides of the plants suffered without light getting through once the bulbs were dropped down amongst the plants when stretch was over and they were so thick and healthy, and the reflectix on the walls helped , but for the most part the plants in the middle of the room caught overlap from the light configuration and yield increase was noted......so.....bottom line.....
Trade offs and learnin curves on all new setups , and I wish I could sway you toward DTW coco usin Dripclean with barely enough runoff to call it DTW if this is gonna be a production type setup for consistent returns , on top of being bulletproof from any type rootborn pathogens you could encounter with all your DWC and Undercurrent efforts , but far be it from me to say anything but good luck and hope for happy harveys ....and.....I will....
Good luck ....DHF.... .....

That's why i keep them independent and in containers so you can turn them around individually when needed ...

Trust me Bro....I`m one of the original water babies online runnin Krusty buckets for well over a decade before Heath talked me into his "multi-flow" setups that I DIY`ed outta 5 gal buckets , and ran them another 7-8 yrs before coco even ever came on the scene , so again believe me.....It took a lot to sway me toward the shit....especially havin to waste as much juice down the drain to make the beast pump out the dank but I digress....so.....I can be swayed.... I am open minded and logic rules. I have zero experience with coco and setting up drip systems, and many years with all sorts of different hydro setups, so I naturally gravitate towards my experience. With you as a guide I know I am in good hands, and I am completely open to babyshit, dialed, consistant results. When I saw aero and bonzey pulling nice numbers out of their donuts, I was thinking heath's undercurrent system in a donut may give me that 2-2.5 lbs per 4x4 area that I'm looking for out of a bare 600 or stacked 315CMH, whatever need be.... it seems hard to beat. The more I learn, the less I realize that I know... so I am always open to learning new things, setups...etc. If you think I can yield more per square foot/ more gpw, I am all ears.
Thanks,

hello there brother, your setup looks killer!
just wanted to pop in, like a vegan, to share my experience with what DHF is saying -coco-blumats-dripclean-norunoff-... it's easy, convenient, cool and more, just mix some nutes, throw in the reservoir and watch the jungle grow; it's truly a miracle for me at least and it's my very first time with them. just follow the instructions and don't try to reinvent the wheel and you are good to go.
still, whatever path you take my brother, i wish you the best and will be subbed from now on your thread, you have a killer team there,
cheers
